Your Sun sign is one placement

The sign people mean when they say “I’m a Leo” is where the Sun stood on their birthday — and that is the sign Cosmiclogy shows as your zodiac sign. It is real and genuine, but it is one placement out of many.

Your Moon governs your inner weather, and your Rising sign, set by the exact minute of birth, shapes how you meet the world. Reading only the Sun is like describing a person by their loudest sentence. See how the whole chart fits together →
